Zumix, one of our favorite organizations in Boston, offers youth a musical alternative to violence and they do it incredibly well. Zumix kids play all over the city, including the Run to the Beat 5K where Tripod rocked out about Hong Kong Harbor, their love for Madeleine Steczynski (Zumix Executive Director) and more. You might think watching them is like watching a cute recital or something. It’s not. They’re good.

Well, if you like music and working with kids, Zumix wants you to join their board, especially if you have a demonstrated expertise in non-profit fundraising, finance, marketing and event planning.

If you’d like to learn more, we suggest perusing their website and attending their open house on October 19th.

Open House Details:

October 19th, 2010 at 6pm

ZUMIX Firehouse

260 Sumner St. East Boston, MA 02128

Please RSVP to Nikki Stewart, Development Associate at nstewart @ zumix.org

For more info on Board opportunities, please email Chris Habetler at christopher.habetler @ gmail.com and follow us past the break.

Honor Inc. Magazine’s Bostonian 30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs – Oct 5th

This year, Inc. Magazine honored 3 Massachusetts companies in their 30 Under 30 series including 3 good friends of Boston Young Entrepreneurs.

Of course, Second Glass‘ Tyler Balliet and Morgan First are two of our favorite people and we think they should win all the awards…just a straight sweep…so we’re not surprised they were plucked out and honored. But also, Dan Schawbel of Millennium Branding who shared his expertise with BYE, and Her Campus founders Annie Wong, Stephanie Kaplan and Windsor Genevieve Hanger were named. Not a bad showing for good old Massachusetts.

On October 5th, the Massachusetts Office of Small Business and Entrepreneurship is hosting an event at the State House to honor these hometown favorites and provide resources to the rest of us who haven’t yet reached those heights.

Boston Young Entrepreneurs will be there and we hope you will join us.

Click here for more information and to register.

Lest we fail to mention, this event is part of a great series called BREW Boston (Boston Region Entrepreneurship Week), which ties together all the events happening in the Boston area during the first couple weeks of October. We highly recommend you take a look at their calendar and get out there!

NB: We originally listed this as the 7th. The actual date is the 5th. Thanks to eagle-eyed reader Mike Sweeney for helping us out!
